Kris & Bud tie the knot {image heavy}

About two weeks ago David and I attended the wedding of this really amazing friend of mine who I met through college. Not only did we have the honor of attending this gorgeous wedding, but it also gave me the chance to catch up with some other friends I met from or during college, including one of my favorite roommates ever, Rachel, Sam and her hubs Aaron Shintaku, the photographer (who also photographed my engagement & wedding), and the absolutely darling Courtney!

Kristin, the bride, was breathtakingly beautiful. She looked absolutely stunning. The chapel was magnificent, all of the handmade centerpieces and tid bits here and there were either from Anthropologie or made by Kristin herself. The cocktails were delish, the food was oh so yummy and the photo booth (with props also made by Kris) was SO FUN! I have to tell you, this was one of the best weddings I have ever been to. I've only really had this much fun and one other wedding (besides my own) and that was Kyle & Jaymee's wedding last October. This wedding definitely went down in my books as tops!

I am so incredibly happy for Kristin and Bud. They were both glowing on their day and they both looked marvelous.

That is SUCH a cute wedding! How gorgeous was the bride?! I love that picture of her dress getting adjusted by (I'm assuming) mum...Oh and the photobooth??! The down side to being married 8 years is that we weren't so creative we just wanted to get hitched QUICK! (*wink wink* if you know what I mean! - Hey, I'm not gonna lie...I married a hottie and waited 3 years from when we started dating for that night!!)
All I can say is :: bring on the 10year wedding renewal!
Love this gorgeous, are you using diptic and instagram? If you are let me know your instagram name!!

haha your beautiful dear!! Seriously like aesthetically pleasing to the eye. And your heart for the LORD makes you that much more beautiful :). BTW... Why does your husband look SOOOO familiar? Has he done a commercial or just look like someone who is in the media that I cannot put my finger on...? Sorry. It has bugged me since I first saw your blog and no names or reasons come to mind haha.

I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding and got to see old friends. What a joy weddings are. I attend my first EVER this Saturday and still have nothing to wear :/... Oh dear. Lord help me.

Love you!

So sweet!! The case/post cards and everything else on that table looked GORG...I want that candle so bad, ha. I cant believe she did all that herself! The whole wedding was DIY/vintage while still being so so chic, thats not something you see a lot. I'm excited to see their profesh pictures, this is my fave wedding I've seen this year :)

Also, so glad you had so much fun at ours, you are so sweet <3. Yours and Dave's was by far Kyle and I's favorite, it was such a great night.

Ask my friends, I still talk about it and tell them I wish they could have been flies on the wall to see it, cause it was soooooo so beautiful, like being in a dream. The room where your ceremony took place literally looked like it was glowing :)

I keep getting so excited about my engagement pictures this summer...so many ideas and I love getting more by looking at others! Then, then wedding pictures...this was like out of a movie or Vanity Fair type shoot and I just love that postcard table seating idea and what lovely homemade personal touches! Thank you for sharing these!
